6-digit subheadings (2)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
Chapter 02 classification notes
Meat imports are dominated by veterinary-health certification (origin slaughterhouse approval), cold-chain documentation, and BSE/foot-and-mouth disease zoning rules. Most destinations require veterinary-import permits issued by the national veterinary authority before shipment.
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Cooked / processed / canned meats fall under Chapter 16 (preparations of meat); raw frozen meat stays in Chapter 02. Edible offal (heart, liver, kidneys) under 0206 is sometimes mis-declared as muscle meat.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
